Problem Solver
M.S. Vinod
I am well versed in the area of plant genetics and genomics, especially when it involves the use of DNA and RNA based molecular markers. The information generated from such studies is important when it comes to selection of superior plant varieties that can withstand both biotic and abiotic stress.
Areas M.S. Vinod is Knowledgeable in:
Plant genetics and genomics
Techniques M.S. Vinod Uses:
use of molecular biology laboratory techniques
M.S. Vinod's Problem Solving Skills:
- Agriculture - conducting field trials for drought tolerant rice
- Genetics - Identifying and developing QTLs for root related traits and other biotic and abiotic traits
- Biotech - All laboratory techniques in molecular biology with specialization in molecular markers
- Earth and Life Sciences - Use of molecular markers to tag and identify important phenotypic traits
M.S. Vinod's Problem Solving Experience:
- I have identified a DNA based molecular marker that differentiates the male plants from the female plants in the dioecious species Pandanus fascicularis L.
- I have constructed a cDNA library for identifying the genes involved in scent biogenesis in Pandanus fascicularis L.
- I have identified and tagged molecular markers for important traits such as root length and drought tolerance in rice.
